three chairs
If you take a tour of the Farnsworth House, you get to use these three chairs and the one bench while you take your shoes off before you go inside.

from the river side
My dad was a civil engineer, with a specialty in wastewater treatment. I can recall quite a few times on vacations when we’d take a detour from the regular route in order to check on a new wastewater-treatment facility. It was interesting. (Ha! Ha! No it wasn’t. But you know what it was? Smelly, usually.)
Anyway, time goes on, as it does, and the detours-based-on-profession now involve architecture, which is nicer to look at (usually) and much less fragrant (always). And that’s why on our recent trip to Chicago we took a two-hour drive from the city to go look at this house. It’s famous. And so is the architect.
The house is adjacent to (and sometimes, depending on flood conditions, in) the Fox River; this is the river-facing side.

The Best Skylight
This place we stayed was so nice – comfortable, a good location, interesting art. And the world’s best skylight!

Hierarchy, chairs
Was there a reason the chairs increased in complexity from left to right? Or was it a coincidence?
